 * Hi, I have inserted the search widget in the footer. But I would like this to
   show results only of my custom post type and not pages or anything else. Thanks
   in advance for the support. Great theme anyway.

 * Hi [@treeplo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/treeplo/),
 * Thanks for reaching out.
    Unfortunately we have no control over the native Search
   Widget, and even we could change we don’t want to break its default behaviour.
   Instead, we’ll try to implement a widget from Blocksy Companion where you could
   change which post types will be available in the results, like we currently do
   with the Header Search Icon. In the meantime, you can use a plugin like this 
   one to alter the default WP [search](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-extended-search/).
 * Hope this helps and thanks for the words!
 * Cheers.

 * Hey! Just wanted to note, that I was able to configure exactly which custom post
   types and taxonomies I need to be searched, using the plugin Creative Themes 
   mentioned above:
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-extended-search/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-extended-search/)
 * My goal was to ensure that both Blocksy search, the core search widget and 3rd
   party search plugins, returned the same search results.
 * Give it a shot, and kindly post your experiences.
 * Best regards
    Bjarne
